iMac painfully slow to login to
For the past couple of months I have noticed that my iMac has become drastically slower. Last September it took about thirty seconds to choose my account, enter my password and choose an app. Lately, when I login from one account to another, the screen turn black; it stays like that for five minutes before it lets me choose my account. When I finally login into my account, it takes about ten minutes for the computer to load properly, then another five minutes to open an application.
My computer is a:
- Mid-2011
- Has a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor
- Has a 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Memory
- Has 1TB Storage (227GB used up so far)
- Is updated to High Sierra 10.13.5
My account is an administrator. I have no dodgy applications on my computer.
Is there a reason to why it is so slow?
iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.5)
